Name that toon!

I need some help coming up with a name for a Street Justice toon.  I already have a background for the character as well as his real name, I just need a 'hero/vigilante' name for him.  He is a secondary character from my Capt. Conduit fanfics (which I just reposted in the FanFic forums).  His name is Benji, and he grew up in an apartment across the hall from CC.

Spoiler
He is 12 years old when CC is sent to prison for murdering 2 Hellions that broke into his mom's apartment.

This drives him to learn to fight and eventually take to the streets as a street vigilante.  He's relatively young (19-22 years old) with a medium-small build. Think of characters such as Robin/Nightwing, Kick-arse and even Casey Jones from TMNT (likes using some melee weapons when he can, but is particularly fond of baseball bats).

I asked in-game for some ideas and the only one that stands out so far is Big Ben (tho I'm not really fond of it).  I had actually thought of going with the name Street Justice, but I really dislike naming a character after a powerset, I think it shows a lack of creativity.

Anyhow, any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I had the name Deadbeat Son before...it's yours if you want it, unless someone has already taken it.

Not knowing what's taken and what's not (I presume they all are, maybe a combination of these and something else)...

No pictures yet. I haven't got an idea of what I what his costume to look like yet (one of the reasons I haven't been able to come up with a name).

Maybe a name of one of the rougher neighborhoods in Paragon.

This is a GREAT idea!  It fits the concept personally to name himself as the protector of his neighborhood.  I'll let you know what I come up with.

I'm actually thinking of using a name of one of the neighborhoods as opposed to one of the city zones.  He grew up in Atlas Park so I am looking at some of the AP neighborhood names.  I have one that I have reserved but I'm still not sure about it. Here is a screenie of the first draft...
